INpo-CHINA, Annam, near Tourane, J. & M.S. Clemens 3454, May- 
July, 1927, a shrub on forested slopes, flowers pale red. 
A species belonging in the group with Cratoxylon ligustrinum (Spach) 
Blume (C. polyanthum Korth.), distinguished, however, by its very 
much smaller, differently shaped, usually broadly rounded leaves. The 
lower surface of the leaves is characteristically supplied with scattered 
dark colored glands, these being much larger and more numerous in the 
upper one-third of the leaf. The tips of the ultimate veinlets are free 
rétbautherasher Jax and not AVELV distinct reticulations.
